SUNSET STRIP DIDDY COP FEAR

The terror began when a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy pulled a member of Sean Diddy Combs‘ entourage at 315 AM Saturday night when cops noticed the rental car didn’t have the proper tags.

The deputy summoned backup after two cars stopped a little too close for comfort. One member of the rapper’s posse was detained when he was uncooperative, prompting six or seven others -including Diddy – to exit their vehicles and advance toward the lone deputy, a source told The New York Daily News.

"A deputy pulled his firearm, fearing for his safety," said authorities. "The situation was deflated as quickly as it began."
